When I saw the first stamp set I almost died.
IT'S SO CUTE!!! IT'S LIKE A PICTURE OF ME AND MADDIE! I DIE OF THE CUTENESS. I always flip Maddie over like this and rub her belly. Splotchy doesn't like being flipped, but Maddie loves it.
I stamped the image in Fadeout Ink, and then painted it with Daniel Smith watercolor. Her hair is Aussie-Red Gold, one of my favorite Daniel Smith pigments. The sentiment is stamped in Nocturne. I love how BIG this image is - so fun and easy to paint and so incredibly sweet.
Then, as you might have guessed from my title - there's lettuce! And the good news is it's not romaine! Have we all survived #romainepocalypse2018?? I stamped this little guy in Amalgam ink and colored him with Copics. The background is this new Halftone stamp - I LOVE halftone patterns - and I stamped that in Nocturne. I used white and Key Lime cardstock, and I cut his little sign with these awesome nesting stitched dies.
Finally, there's a very fluffy kitty in this release, with cookies! I stamped the cookie and crumb image between his paws, because you can tell he has been eating a lot of cookies! He's stamped in Amalgam Ink, and colored with Copics. It's hard to see here, but he's on a stitched circle from these dies.
The background is just an abstract watercolor - I wanted him to match the yellow. The sentiment is stamped in Nocturne.
Now I don't know about you - but I LOVE small releases like this - better on the old holiday budget. It also makes it easier to buy the whole release if you like it - you can get the release bundle at a discount - all stamps and dies.
Here are all the products I used today. Hopefully I didn't forget anything like I did last week. Thanks to everyone who lets me know when I pull an I Love Lucy - I do appreciate it greatly!

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet release!!! I do love that it's smaller and at a great price point! It's temporarily sold out so I will have to check back. I still haven't made all my birthday/Christmas selections yet! You know I LOVE that sweet girl and her kitty. I really like that the background flowers are part of the entire stamp. The halftone stamp has so many possibilities! So cool! Loving that fat cat! I am so glad that neither of our cats are overweight but paper cats are adorable size large! Fabulous cards!

it's more fun to eat than
work. Great cards.

Love your cards Lydia and I also love this release. The girl with the cat caught my eye first. I didn't realize how large it is til I saw your card, great for watercoloring. The cat with the cookies rang close to home for me. We have an orange tabby that is a little portly so I'll be getting that one too.
ReplyDeleteWow these are cute as can be!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards! You've the coloured the girl and her cat so beautifully. I love the punny lettuces!
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable. I cannot tell you! I want them all. Btw none of our 20 plus cats would have enjoyed being held that way!

ReplyDeleteAwesome cards! LOVE your coloring!
ReplyDeleteYep, there's everything to love about this release and your cards. Also, I didn't realize, but one of my nieces has Aussie Red Gold hair! I've been thinking about getting that color, but this might just cinch it. I always enjoy seeing your color choices and how you look at products. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteLoving your cards and your coloring!

ReplyDeleteAWK!!! These are the cutest cards and oh my yes..that kitty looks like he loves his cookies!
